Train tracks are the best example I can think of as parallel lines, two lines going in the same direction but which never touch. It is the same with literary parallels. When I talk about parallels I mean events, characters of locations with shared similarities one one another.
These things are never the same but I think the shared traits are often intentional and point us in the direction of hints or even the general shape of events elsewhere. FNAF's a unique series where the main line of game events are full of mysterious gaps and unknowns -
I think the novels give us the shape of events in some places without solidly answering our questions. An example of this without using concrete book quotes would be if we had a game which was missing the murder weapon -
Trump shooter Matthew Crooks reportedly had an account on the popular gamer chat app, Discord.

According to a GAO report from February, last year "the FBI worked to increase engagement with gaming and gaming-adjacent companies"

And it's not just the FBI! Private intelligence contractors are also ramping up their efforts to target gamers.
This is from last year, shortly after the Discord Leaks were made public:

🧵How To Start Improving “Bad Hips” Right Now, With No Equipment
I’m with my brother-in-law this week.
He’s 61, in good shape, and loves being active. But his hip pain has gotten so bad that he couldn't go hiking with the rest of the family this week.
He asked me what he could do; here's the routine I showed him:

He asked me what he could do; here's the routine I showed him:
Warmup: Backwards Walk x 2-3 minutes
Warmup your feet, knees, and hips by walking or jogging backwards.
You can do this on flat ground or a hill. I like using a hill if you have one.

1. ATG Split Squat 1-2 Sets x 12 reps, per side
Elevate your front leg using a stairwell or a chair.
The goal is to fully cover your front calf with your hamstring on each rep.
Keep your torso vertical and your back leg as straight as you can.
Go slow and hold the stretch in your hips, groin, and adductor muscles for a few moments at the bottom.

A derailed Russian train with the freight car truck thrown out from under the freight cars?
The vast majority of train derailments happen in rail yards where the average train speed is about five MPH/eight KMH.**

Having one of these railway car trucks detach from a rail car at five MPH/eight KMH seems a bit...energetic?

Yes, there is a railway war between Ukrainian partisans and intelligence on one side and Russian security on the other.

1) Cultural propaganda is some of the most effective. It worked for the Nazis, for example. Now I’m going to show you how it works as seen right now. Put away from your mind if the following story is true or not, because it doesn’t need to be. So let’s begin⬇️
2) In the 1600s, our forefathers came here to build a new nation based on religious liberty, individual freedom, ownership, and hard work. The fruits of their labors and their freedom was being stolen and trampled by a tyrannical government. So they fought for freedom.⬇️
3) They threw off the yoke of the British king and formed a new nation based on the ideals of their forefathers. Religious liberty, individual freedom, hard work, and ownership of farms and businesses. America rose as the greatest nation on Earth and a beacon of liberty. And⬇️
The Rosetta Stone was discovered exactly 225 years ago today — inside the wall of an old fortress that was being demolished.
This is the strange story of the stone that brought Ancient Egypt back to life...
This is the strange story of the stone that brought Ancient Egypt back to life...
Why is it called the Rosetta Stone?
Because it was discovered near a town called Rashid in northern Egypt — when the French invaded in the late 18th century they corrupted its name to Rosetta.

So, there are three parts to this story.
First: what is it?
The Rosetta Stone is a slab of granodiorite (a rock similar to granite) mined at Aswan in southern Egypt; it's over 1 metre tall, 3/4 of a metre wide, and weighs 3/4 of a tonne.

2. Yesterday, Senator Joe Manchin voted to ban federal funding for gender affirming surgeries in the Military and a TRICARE ban for trans youth care.
Now, he appears to support federal funding bans on ALL trans care.

3. The statement comes after Manchin was asked about a vote on two anti-trans amendments yesterday. When asked about them, he appeared confused, saying, “I better check on that, huh? Maybe I made a mistake.”

My COO and I were deep in the trenches of Google Sheets, like most agencies, trying to show clients our value.
We used sheets, a million klaviyo CSV reports, and a little bit of code to hack together this deep dive that we sent via screenshots/summaries, highlighting and screenshotting split tests done, and insights made.
It was extremely messy.

The clients didn't understand it.
We had trouble communicating the good service we were providing.
The clients did not know how to interpret the data, what looked good, and what looked bad, and often just replied, "Looks great!" without looking at our in-depth 10+ page reports...

An Open Letter to Leftists:
On July 13, 2024 things CHANGED. For too long you have mistaken our TOLERANCE for weakness and it emboldened you. That TIME has come to an END. Things are going to happen FAST now and you will find yourself wondering HOW you got here. So, here’s how.

You called us RACISTS while we were standing together as WHITE, BLACK, & BROWN Americans. You overwhelmed us with images of races unable to COEXIST. Then came DEI, reparations, & constant ATTACKS for even the smallest perceived slight. You needed us DIVIDED, which was the GOAL.
We supported GAY marriage and didn’t notice the TQIA’s at first. Then you went after OUR KIDS, openly flaunted your sexuality, & made PRONOUNS a weapon. You had men competing in WOMEN’s sports and invading their private spaces. And again you demonized those that DARE push back.
Heaven is made up of 9 levels.

In 1321, Alighieri Dante imagined a journey through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise. It's one of the most imaginative stories ever told.
He travels right to the bottom of Hell and describes each of its 9 levels...
He travels right to the bottom of Hell and describes each of its 9 levels...
Why? Because to journey upward in life, you must first descend into the depths of your own soul.
At the very bottom, the bitterly cold point furthest from God's grace, is Satan — trapped in a frozen lake of his own tears...
